GRAND BEND – Pinery Provincial Park is closed to the public until Friday to allow for an indigenous deer hunt.

Ontario’s Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks said this is the fifth year for an indigenous deer harvest at the park that’s made up of 21 square kilometres of forest and sand dunes along the Lake Huron shoreline in the Lambton County community of Lambton Shores.

In past years, indigenous deer harvests were held in Rondeau, Clear Creek Forest and Short Hills provincial parks, according to the ministry.

“Ontario respects Aboriginal and treaty rights, as recognized and affirmed under the Constitution Act, 1982, and is committed to meeting the province’s constitutional and other obligations regarding indigenous peoples,” the ministry said in a news release.
